just Away.
[csn not say, and will not say,
That he Is dead. He is just awayl
With CHEEKY smile and a wave OF the hama
he has wandered into an unknown land,
And left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must be, since he fingers there.
And you. oh, you, who the widest yearn
For the old-time step aud tie glad return
Think of him faring OF. as dear
In the love of there as the love ofheee;
And loyal still, as he gave the blows
OF his warrior strength to his oountry's foes
Mild and gentle as he was brave
When the sweetest love Of his life he gave
To simple things: Where the violets grew
Pure as the eyes they were likened to,
The touches Of his hands have stayed
AS reverently as his lips have prayed
When the little brown thrush that harshl9
shirred
Was dear to him as the knocking bird;
And he pitied as much as man in pain
A wrtthing honey bee wet with rain.
Think of him still as the same, say,
He is not dead; he is just away!
-Ja,nas NAueonao Riley.
The Blacksmith.
Oh, workman Of the brawny arm
And the bronzed brow; Oh say,
Out of the Kissing and snaitten steel
What dost thou make to-day.
Dost thou use thine art in this time OF peace
To fashion the thirsty sword
That shall cleave its course without remorse
In the battle-wrath abhorred?
Or dost thou forge, with force and fire,
The terrible bayonet,
That shall CLEAN at the front, and bear the
brunt
When the serried hosts are met?
And the gray-haired workman paused in his
task,
His heated brow to cool;
He shook his head, and "Alas," he said,
TIN making shoe for a mule"
Better Than Gold.
Surely, nothing is better than money, you say,
And fondly you look at your gold;
outweigh
Your wealth, thought may be untold.
Just a single bright smile to some one In dis
treS6;
A kind word to some ragged boy;
These will often go further than money to
bless,
And ill q sad heart full OF Joy.
Just bunch Of fresh flowers for an fnvalid's
room:
A line to dear absent friend;
These alone may do more to dispel pain and
gloom
Than all OF the gold YOU can spend

An Exciting Eviction scene

Dublin, Jan. 1S- Exciting scenes were
witnessed to-day near Caherconlish,
county Limerick, the occasion being the
eviction of Edmond O'Graay, tenant
On the Gabbett eststee. O'Grady and
about twenty OF his friends proceeded to
the upper story of the house, cut away
the staircase behind them and stationed
Themselves at the windows. The eyiot-
ing party soon arrived and stormed the
house with aledge hammers and bayo-
meta. Ladders were placed against the
walls, mp which the police.
men and bailiffs swarmed, but the
defenders threw boiling water on
their Rssailants and hurled the lad
ders to the ground. The attacking par
ty advanced repeatedly upon the house
and were ss, often repuised. The con-
test lasted fully three hours. Ultimate
ly hole was cat In the upper floor,
through which some policemen crawied,
while others covered the. occupants OF
the house with rifles, thrsatening to fire
IL the slightest hostile movement was
made. The eviction was then effected !,
and several persons were arrested. Dur
ing the ex1itAment crowds OF people
gathered about the house and cheefrd
the offenders. For this display OF sym
pAthy they were repeatedly charged up-
on by the police and vigorously dubbed.
A number OF policemen end citizens
were injured in the affray.

Washington, Jan. 1S-Ihe president
sent the following message to congress
to-day:
10 the Senate and House OF Repre-.
sentatiyes: AS o matter of national
interest and one solely within the dis
eretion and control of congress, trans
NIT the accompanying memorial of the
executive committee of the sub-constitc-
tionsl centennial commission proposing
to celebrate the 18th OF September, 1887,
In the city OF Philadelphia, as the day
upon which and the place where the
convention that framed the federal Goa
stitutlon concluded their lsbors
and submitted the result for
ratification to the thirteen states
then composing the United States. The
epoch was one OF the deepest interest
and the events we'll worthy OF eomme-
moration. am aware that as each state
acted independently in giving lts adhe-
sion 10 s;sa new constitution, the dates
and anniversary of their separate ratiti-
eation are not cuincident. Some action
looking to national expression in rela-
tioh to the celebration OF the, close of
the first century OF popular government
under written constitution has already
been suggested. and whilst stating the
great interest l share in the renewed
examination by the American people Of
the historical foundation OF the
government do dot feel warranted in
discriminating in favor of or against
propositions to select one day or place
in preference to all others. and there
fore content myself with conveying to
congress these expressions of the popular
feeling and interest upon the subject,
hoping that, in a patriotic cooperation
rather than Of local competition, fitting
measures may be enacted by congress
which will give the ampleet opportunity
all over these United States for KAN
Hesitation of the affection and confidence
of q free and mighty nation in the insti-
tutions OF the government in which
they are the fortunate inheritants and
under which unexampied prosperity has
been enjoyed by all classes and conditions
in our social system.

Well, IN order to satisfy the anti
divIsIonlsts let a fair test be made of the
matter. Let the present legislature
provide for submission to the people at
special election, or at regular Novem
ber election. this question pure and
simple: "Shall Dakota territory be di-
vided on or near the forty-sixth par
ailel ?''-Si.ap Fails Press.
1t is our opinion that this should be
done, but this is not enough. We are in
favor OF legislative enactment author
izing constitutional convention for
north Dakota and constitutional con-
vention for south Dakota. AT the cleo
ton OF delegates to these conventions
let the question of division be voted up
on. Ii o majority Of the votes of all Da--
kota are cast in favor OF division author
izs the delegates elected to assemble
in two conventions for the prep
aration of two constitutions
Ii the majority decide against
division let the delegates assemble in
one convention and Greats cne constitu-
sAoA aoA ali "a oRhotA. huu leG tnlS beU-
tie the question Of division for all time
to come. Dakota has wrangled long
enough over the proposition to divide
and it is time to announce definitely what
Dakota wants. Most of us are con-
yinced already that Dakota is largely in
favor OF division, but there is minority
OF obstructionists shouting for vote of
the people upon the proposition. The
best way to convince this minority is to
yield to its wishes and
refer the question to the arbitration
of the ballot. Each half of Dakota con-
tains sufficient population, wealth and
resources to entitle it to statehood and il
each alike is authorized to go ahead and
construct constitution and pus in it's
demand for admission it will silence the
sectional opposition the south has en-.
countered in all its statehood move
ments. 1t is the duty of the present
legislature to legislate upon this matter
Nothing Of so much Importance as this
will come before that body during the
session.

volume itself disproves the current
statement that the railroad commission is
more ornamental than useful. 1t shows
vast amount Of work accomplished.
The report is full of useful information
relative to Dakota railroad and teIe-
